‘OUTLANDER’ PREMIERES AUGUST 9, 2014 ON STARZ (Plus the First Poster)

It was just announced that Outlander will premiere on August 9, 2014 at 9 PM EST on Starz! Here is the new beautiful poster featuring Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan).

“Starz also released the official image of the key art with the tagline, “What if your future was the past?” The poster depicts Claire (Caitriona Balfe), a married British combat nurse from 1945 who mysteriously falls back in time to 1743 Scotland, where she is torn between her husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a Scottish warrior who comes to her rescue. The image represents Claire’s physical and emotional journey. At the start of the series, she is a woman who has been transported into the past, but she’s reaching back and trying to stay connected to the life and husband that are now beyond her reach. Starz collaborated with The Refinery and photographer Frank Ockenfels 3 to create the key art which was shot on location in the Scottish highlands.”

UPDATE: And here are various reactions and tweets on Twitter to the poster and release date news:
